Ncix still has a few 1055T's in stock according to their site. I played with a 6100 bulldozer a few months back, definitely not my favorite chip for games as it lacks single threaded performance even when overclocked. So maybe a 2500K or 2600K would be a better way to go? It would be a bit more money though.

Just so you know, the M5A97 is NOT capable of Nvidia SLI. It will run a single nvidia card, but will only run AMD cards in crossfire. Just keep that in mind. If you stay with that MB and video card, you won't have the option of buying another 560TI in the future and SLIing them.

If that's not an issue for you, and you never plan on SLIing, then all fine and dandy. That is a great board for the price.
